Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, and green)
  • 1 medium onion
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • cooked rice or quinoa (for serving)

Instructions

    Notes

    Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you plan to keep it longer, consider freezing the dish in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Just be sure to cool it completely before freezing to maintain texture and flavor.

    Reheating: To reheat, microwave individual portions for 1-2 minutes or until heated through. Alternatively, warm the dish on the stovetop over medium heat, adding a splash of chicken broth to prevent it from drying out.

    Serving: Serve the chicken and peppers over a bed of cooked rice or quinoa for a complete meal. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added flavor and a pop of color.

    Chef’s Tip: For extra flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in olive oil, garlic, and oregano for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This simple step enhances the dish and makes it even tastier!
